The Jupiter Irish Fest began 6 years ago with a vision to bring the rich culture & traditions of Ireland to Jupiter, FL in a way like no other. This vision, created by the founder David McGovern, who was born in Dublin, Ireland set a goal to create an experience that showcases the culture, sights, food, drink and entertainment of his homeland. David, a local Tequesta Fire Captain, husband and father of four, is committed to sharing his family traditions with the community.
MISSION
